I can’t stop looking at it. Can you see? Standing in that window on the left is the faint shadow of a really tall man. You have to look pretty hard at first but once you see it…. arrrrrgh! GHOST! I got this photo from a feature in today’s Telegraph. They actually have a load of them that have been sent in from different readers, but this one is the weirdest. It was apparently taken on a tour of the haunted Maitland gaol. I really wanna go. I frickin’ LOVE stuff like this.

It’s a bit of a dirty secret but most nights I will read about half an hour of “true” ghost stories on my phone or iPad, via the app ‘True Ghost Stories from Around the World.’ (I know, I need a life). But really, there’s some scary crap on there. You’d be surprised, too, how much of it is written sooooo very badly. The worse the story is written, the more likely it is to be true, I reckon. Well… they are obviously not writing for the sake of writing, that’s for sure. They just have a story to tell, a demon to fight, a gran that won’t stop sitting on the end of their bed… even though she died 3 weeks ago.

This reminds me… last year when my mate Ewan and I were at a place called Crystal Castle, he took the below picture of a statue. And look at the orb on it. He actually took two shots and both featured the orange orb in a different place. In bright daylight, with no fuzz on the lens, no dust in the air, no clouds in the sky. Spooky! What do you think it is? I think it looks far more peaceful and pretty than anything in the first picture. Arrrrgh. I’m gonna have nightmares tonight.

Burqalicious Extras!

Huge thanks to my friend Trevor here, who made a fabulous host at the Burqalicious – The Dubai Diaries Q&A night in Ubud last week. And yes, it was last week, in case you were thinking this photo has a 1978 sort of quality to it. Not sure what happened there… my dress wasn’t even […]

Just got this lovely piece of news, which is very cool. Burqalicious – The Dubai Diaries is number two in the Apple iBookstore charts! YAY! But wouldn’t it be awesome to get it to number one?! OK ya’ll, if you haven’t bought this book yet, now’s the time to download it for the measly price of […]

So next Spring my book will be published in North America and Canada, thanks to a lovely little publisher’s called Skyhorse. How cute is that name? It reminds me of galloping ponies in the clouds, maybe even unicorns and Care Bears. I like it a lot. It wouldn’t be the same if it was called […]

I haven’t really seen too many reviews of my book… and who knows, maybe that’s a good thing. But I was still quite excited when someone told me they’d seen one in this week’s NW magazine. Before you say it, it’s not really a review – as such – rather a mention. They haven’t passed […]

Как удачливый я должен иметь книжное дело с российским издательством. That, according to my nifty oline translater thingy means, “How lucky I am to have a book deal with a Russian publishing house.” Which I am. YAY! Of course, I’m VERY excited to see how it looks in such a…. such a… well, such an […]
